", Be it known'that I, LEVI SCOTT, of Burgettstown, Washington county, and State of `I Pennsylv'nnio, have iiivented nn Improved ,Device for Operating'Chnrn'sglandI herebydeelare the following to be an exact descrip- -Y `tion thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters'of reference morkedthereon, making a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1V represents aside elevation of the churnan'dlits devi-ces. Figure 2 .is e top view offthe seme.

The nature of myinven'tion consists in the constructionof'a. ciirved-edgo wheel, octagonsshaped, and curves or o oncevities between the points of the ootggon, with independent rollers, ntthe extremities of two arms, as'a v segment-head, at the centre of which thependulnm-rod is' ttached, the rollers operating i'n'the curves of the edge-wheel, so as to cause a regular vibration ofthependulum and regular'inotion to the churn the edge- Wheel and segment-heedanswering the purpose of the ordinary vergeef lclock-gearing, bntso constructed as tohave manifold strength and power to operate the churn vwith greater'rapidity and regularitythan `couldboaccomplished by the ordinary verge dfn clock.' Y

f `.A represents the Aupright framenthet supportethe, machinery; B, the drum, by which the weight C is wound up. D D D D are the ordinary` cog and pinon-'georing, common to clock-work.' E, the ily-wheel, driven by gearing D. F, e broke, to check thelmotivon f the ily-wheel, when required. Gis they horizontal 1ever,`,

operated'up and down by the ptman E, connected withfthe gearing J, the pendulum, and K the' pendulumrod, that is suspended a-t thecentre of the `:segment-houd L. M, the attachment of the segmeut-heud, that-oper n L ates and vibrates the pendulum according to the forwerd'fand beckward movement of the rollers N. Pis the .octagonfwheeh that revolves upon the shaft R, and driven by the gearingD and, as it revolves, the rollers N operate in the concavities of the edge of the wheel, wh-ile each point of thewheel P forces' the rollers N alterhately back and forward in a, vibrating acti-on, giving e. regular. and powerful vibration to the pendulum J, `so

' as to regulate the upward and downward mbvement of the lever G, by ineens ofwhich the upright jointed lever S, thats pivoted to thc extremity of -leveil G, is propelled, and operates the flashers of the churn T, that is, an

ordinary upright churn.

filius the churning operation isnot only fcilitoted, but is accomplished with certaintysaving much labor,

completely regulated, and ei'ectunlly performed.

' Y do not-clim the use of clockwork for operating churns, for that has been used; 'but- What I claim as'my invention, 'and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination and arrangement of the wheel P, rollers N N, segment-'head L, pendulum J K, horizontal lever Gr', Weight C, dasher-rod S, pitmnn H, and broke F, with the gearing D D D D, and frame A, constructed LEVI SCOTT.` l
